Lantau Island's Absolute Essentials
Lantau Island features a diverse mix of spiritual landmarks and natural scenery. The 34-meter-tall Tian Tan Buddha and the adjacent Po Lin Monastery, established in 1906, represent the island's Buddhist heritage. Visitors can reach these sites via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. For outdoor enthusiasts, Lantau Peak offers the island's highest elevation, while the stilt houses of Tai O fishing village showcase traditional maritime life. Cultural history is preserved at the 19th-century Tung Chung Fort, and modern entertainment is found at Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005.
